Toni was so welcoming when I attended Drexel University. I remember when I had my Honors interview. She answered all of my questions, helped me make the decision to attend Drexel and helped make a smooth transition from high school to Drexel. She became like an aunt and guided me through my first two years in college. She was always there to talk to you when you needed advice, had a problem to discuss or to catch up on current affairs. She was one of a few at Drexel University who brought a motherly and a home-like touch to Drexel's campus. She will be missed sorely. Drexel is not the same without her and without Dr. George Papadakis.

My family lived next door to yours when I was a small child. I still have memories of Cara, who was my very first friend, Patrick, who was just a baby, and the Irish Setter you had then. My deepest sympathy to you all for the loss of the lovely Toni, whose smile I can still recognize in the picture even though it's over 40 years later. May your memories of her bring you peace.

I was one of the many Drexel Honors students who Toni advised during her time at Drexel. Toni was like a second Mom to us all. She always had a smile on her face, and she always had time to talk to you. My husband (also an honors alum) and I have many fond memories of Toni and how she helped us to feel welcome at Drexel. We are very sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you during this time.

Toni I will miss you so much. You were my friend, counselor, teacher and mentor for the past 11 years. This was true for many years both as a student at Drexel and the years that followed after…..for so many of us that walked through DU Honors. Thanks Toni, the memories and the legacy will always be remembered.

Pat, I was so sorry to hear on Toni's passing. Even though I have not seen either of you in quite a while, Elaine always kept me up to date on how things were going. I know how difficult these last months have been for all of you and be assured that you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Take care

Toni was a wonderful, caring, fantastic person. She helped me through my freshmen year at Drexel, and was always there with a smile and helpful advice, no matter the problem. My five years at Drexel would have been very different without her. She will be very missed.

Toni was like a second mom to me while I was a student in the Drexel Honors Program. We stayed in touch for the 10 years since graduation. I will miss her very much.
